I really like everything from Unwrap the Fiend pt 2. onward with Axis being a great finish. Nice sound diversity with some sick riffs too. Is that a cello in the second to last track? I've never heard them before but I'd like to hear more. Which album do you recommend I check out next? they're kind of a cool band to follow because the brain behind the group, John Dwyer, is so absurdly profilic. but his career is definitely quantity over quality. he must have at least 25 albums out over the last 12 years. some WAY better than others. sorta like Ty Segall in that way - but I think Dwyer/TOS are way better. anyway, I definitely recommend Floating Coffin (probably my fav) and Putrifiers II. but they're pretty damn similar, so if you want some more lofi, weird, drugged out sh-t, then just keep going back more. anyway, they just announced their second album of the year. think its due out in november or something.

Beluga Whale Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 ^checked out Floating Coffin and it's nice. Really good music to have playing in the background. New music: Phantogram - Three is pretty good. Maybe a bit popier than I had hoped but there are some good beats (Funeral Pyre, Cruel World, Your Mine). Goat - Requiem (psychedelica/afrobeat): This was a pleasant surprise. First third of the album is definitely better than the rest but I really like this.

GLASSJAW Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 never was huge on emo as a genre, but I did (and do) like some of the classic stuff, like Sunny Day Real Estate, Promise Ring, etc. never really got the hype of American Football and stuff like that, and wasn't really big on the "emo revival" thing going on now. THAT SAID, the new Joyce Manor album is pretty enjoyable. only 24 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hottakes: The Midnight Sun by C Duncan is a real good dream pop album. Never heard of him before but I like his sound. Haven't checked out the new Kings of Leon or Cinema Cub yet but I'm not really hearing good things so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a bit of the new Joyce Manor when it came out and it didn't do much for me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think I heard the song blue wave on a Toyota commercial the other night. which is totally lame. interestingly,. Britt Daniels of Spoon, who plays with Dan in Divine Fits released "they want my soul" a couple years back.....the spoon albums theme according to Daniels related to the negative side music industry/art vs money etc.....but sure enough a song off that album ended up on a commercial as well. Pretty sure it was for a car company too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Green Day when I was a kid but none of their new stuff even remotely appeals to me. Same thing with Billy Talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like the sythpop style Boekner is going for here. Initial favourite is Blue Wave. Cold light, Control and Space Needle are also really good. Other new releases: Kings of Leon - WALLS: Better than expected. Obviously nowhere near as good as their early albums but I enjoyed this. I liked the choice to include more calm/mellow songs. Two Door Cinema Club: Meh. Some good hooks but it gets really repetitive after a while. The Early Years - II: Another band I've never heard of but I like this. Not sure the exact genre but it sounds somewhere between dream pop and psychedelica. Favs: Nocturn, Fluxes and Hush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say off of Blue Wave my favs would be Control and Nobody the ep is really good too. Check out the song Ancient.

Beluga Whale Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 You Want it Darker is really, really good. I honestly haven't listened to his older stuff as much as I should have but I checked this out based on the super high praise and it definitely lives up to it. Amazing that he's doing this at 82! Weyes Blood - Front Row Seat to Earth is pretty strong. Quite a few songs I really like on this. I think the singles would still be my favourites. Radio Dept. - Running Out of Love (shoegazing) is decent. Some great songs (Swedish guns, This was bound to happen) but a lot of the album is forgettable. D.D. Dumbo - Utopia Defeated: Not even sure how to describe this album but it's a good listen. Very diverse set of sounds. Top song would be King Fraco Picasso.

Beluga Whale Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 New music friday! Some good stuff today: Lambchop - FLOTUS (folk electronica?): Nothing aside from NIV amazed me initially but it's still a really beautiful sounding album with some great melodies. Pretty much all the vocals are auto-tuned so it's definitely a different sounding album but they work nicely with the instrumentals to create a lush and relaxing atmosphere. Best song: Spoiler STRFKR - Being No One, Going Nowhere: Liked this too. Better than what I was expecting. Hope Sandoval and the Warm Invitations - Until the Hunter: Very nice album. I can't get enough of her voice. Let me get there is still the best song but there are a few others I really like (Day disguise, I took a slip, liquid lady).
